Kielkowski Inside SPICE

The document discusses circuit simulation and diode models. It explains that diodes can be represented in a circuit simulation using a linear approximation of the diode voltage-current characteristic at a bias point. This linear representation is used to calculate the equivalent conductance and current for the diode which are then used to solve the circuit. It also shows figures of the actual diode I-V curve alongside the linear approximation and the equivalent linear circuit representation of a diode.
